FIFA has issued an official statement categorically rejecting allegations against its president, Gianni Infantino, concerning his previous tenure at UEFA.
President Gianni Infantino completely denies these allegations; they are not true. Any suggestion of a breach of statutes or regulations is defamatory. FIFA
The organization emphasized that no employees from either UEFA or FIFA have ever filed complaints regarding Infantino's conduct, stating that no such incidents occurred. Furthermore, FIFA maintained that all personnel decisions, including terminations and severance payments, were conducted in strict accordance with established regulations and approved by authorized supervisors.
Reports had previously circulated suggesting that while at UEFA, Infantino provided financial compensation to a personal acquaintance. FIFA insists that these claims are entirely without merit.
